Monarch Candle Company is a family-owned and operated American brand, beginning as a family dream in the heart of Michigan. Founded in 2009 as Holly Candle Shoppe, we welcomed guests into two charming boutique locations, sharing our passion for fine candles until 2016. After years devoted to perfecting our craft and deepening our artistry, we reemerged in October 2025 with a renewed vision: to create luxurious, sustainable candles that elevate everyday moments with mindful elegance and exceptional quality. Discover more about us on the Our Story page.

Monarch Candle was created with a singular purpose: to craft candles that elevate both space and spirit. Each piece is hand-poured in small batches, using a paraffin-free soy blend, clean fragrances, and reinforced cotton wicks to deliver an exceptionally slow, even burn.

Our fragrances are built around memory and atmosphere, designed to transport, to comfort, and to create moments worth returning to. With minimalist design, refined texture, and fully recyclable packaging, Monarch brings quiet luxury into the everyday.

When you light a Monarch Candle, you invite warmth, nostalgia, and intention into your home.

At this time, our candles are exclusively available online at monarchcandle.shop. We are delighted to announce that we will soon be expanding to select luxury retailers and specialty boutiques across North America.

We are delighted to partner with select specialty boutiques and luxury gift stores. Wholesale applications are being accepted now for Q1 2026. If you are interested in partnering with us, we encourage you to visit our wholesale page to sign up.

Absolutely. Every scented product we make is meticulously crafted in small batches at our Michigan location, using wax and fine oils sourced from trusted domestic artisans. Each vessel is selected from distinguished global makers and presented in recyclable packaging, honoring both tradition and refinement.

We do NOT use paraffin wax! Each of our scented creations is made from a high-performance natural wax blend, thoughtfully composed with soy wax for its purity and sustainability. This exceptional wax carries every fragrance with enduring elegance, delivering a burn as radiant and refined as the aroma it unveils.

Inspired by nature, our fragrances are crafted from carefully chosen ingredients that unfold with lasting depth and elegance. Each creation offers a sophisticated and memorable aroma, designed to elevate any space.

We believe that every candle should offer a clean, safe, and beautiful burn. As affirmed by the National Candle Association, carefully crafted candles, whether scented or unscented, meet the highest safety standards. Though questions sometimes arise about synthetic versus “natural” fragrances, all materials approved for candle use are safe, non-toxic, and designed to deliver a lasting, luxurious experience.

Our candles feature wicks crafted from pure cotton, as well as thoughtfully designed blends of cotton and paper for an even burn. We never use metal in our wicks, ensuring a clean, lead-free flame for a safe and elevated candle experience.

Crafted from natural ingredients, our candles are meant to be savored at their peak. As their fragrance gently softens over time, we recommend burning within one year to enjoy their purest expression.

Limit burn time to 3 to 4 hours for regular-sized candles to prevent overheating.

Total burn times can vary between candles, but as a rule, always extinguish the flame if it draws too close to the vessel.

For safety, discontinue burning when a half inch of wax remains. For more information, please see the "Candle Care" section on our product pages.
